The Area of the Memorial of the Slovak National Uprising


The Memorial of the S.N.U. - a dominant feature of the modern town - was built in 1969. There is a museum with weapons, clothing, documents and photographs commemorating the S.N.U. The memorial area is delineated by a part of the town fortifications and two bastions. In the park there is an outdoor military museum from the Second World War, an armoured train, Soviet and German tanks, cannons and a partisan bunker.
